History of Bed Bug
Once upon a time we lived in caves. Above us there were resting bats. Bugs that we still have today, known as bat bugs would pray upon the bats as they slept. They would feed on their blood and consume it. During this time, some of these bugs that are close relative to the bedbug would make their way down the side of the walls and start feeding on the humans. This is where bedbugs began. Not long after the cave, dwellers would draw pictures on the walls of bedbugs. The Romans spoke of them. The Egyptians had writings about bedbugs. Even the middle ages had potions that contained bed bugs as an ingredient.
It wasn’t until the 1940s that we finally had a breakthrough against bedbugs. This is when DDT came along. People would douse their mattresses and sheets with this wonder pesticide eliminating bedbugs almost on contact. Of course the problem with DDT was found later to be a carcinogen that could cause death. The use of DDT was discontinued, but not before almost completely eradicating all the bedbugs. Even though they went very close to extension now they have made their numbers back and have larger populations every year. Contact your Broken Arrow pest-control company for help with bed bugs.
